Using Traktor and control vinyl with Focusrite Saffire LE

[tathagata]

Hi guys,
I've searched the forum for an answer to this, but I'm only on my phone so apologies if I've missed a topic.
I own Traktor, and (sadly) am having to sell off all of my vinyl. I'm wondering if I can buy NI's control vinyl and cables and use my Focusrite Saffire LE to link it to the computer, or whether NI's interface has a proccessor in it to decode the time code on the vinyl which I'd be missing if I did it that way.
Thanks.

Yeah i believe traktor has protection against using other hardware...

On the other hand, theres free alternatives, which allow any 4in/out soundcards, and lots of different timecodes.
Try Virtual DJ. friends say it gets the job done with timecode. You'll just have to select what kind of timecode you want (traktors, serato, finalscratch) and use it.

Sweet, sounds like a good solution.
Thanks for that.
